They provide lifetime technical support, so whether it's installation advice or assistance with towing queries, help is just a call or email away.
The hitch is installed and looks great. Only one negative, I had to enlarge the slots on the spare tire support bracket. Apparently I should have moved the entire hitch rearward a bit but I had already adjusted the bumper and torqued everything down and I didn't want to re-do it.
Perfect fit for my 2022 Chevrolet Colorado. No adjustments needed. I installed this hitch receiver all by myself taking my time. It took about two hours as I don’t have a lift and had to go from side to side under the truck. I also purchased the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector - Chevrolet/GMC which took me the longest having to strip and connect all the wires. This was a simple project for a diyer (me).

After a year of use it is still working perfectly and I use it all the time.
Excellent customer service, they guided me all the way in order to get the hitch I was looking for. The installation was super easy also. I recommend etrailer to all my family and friends. Thanks again.

It is great, no complains and working like it was brand new.
I didn't have any trouble with the installation. The hitch is perfect, it bolted right to my truck with no issues. I took this picture after I drove it, and the hitch is all dirty.

The receiver still looks good on my truck.
I got it today 11/13/2024 and a friend helped me install it. The wiring was quick and easy and the hitch was installed without a hitch...HAHA some pun humor.
The hitch appears to be solid. The box it came in was destroyed. The mounting brackets were bent in and I had to repaint multiple areas on the hitch.
I wanted this hitch to put my bicycle rack on my Colorado. Maybe pit my dirt bike carrier on it later. No big towing. Beyond having to build a simple jig to keep the hitch from rolling over during installation, the unit installed well, despite some warnings in earlier posts of width problems. My unit slipped right between the bumper plates and frame rails as it should. Immediately put to work. Thumbs up to etrailer for quick shipping and a good product! Thanks!
I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado this is what it looks like after getting rear-ended at around 30 MPH is my guess. The hitch preformed very well in my opinion though damage to the truck was extensive "Needs a new frame". I definitely will purchase another one this is pretty much the best aftermarket hitch available I think.
Love Etrailer, beautiful hitch. Fits my truck just like the factory one would, looks good, and has a healthy weight rating. No drilling or welding was nice, it fits in factory holes with factory hardware. The detail of the web site is incredible. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that I felt it could have been packaged a little better. When it arrived, the hitch had ripped through the box and the mounting ears were bent which made it much more tedious to mount than it should have been. But I got it on there and it still ended up looking and working great. I would buy from them again.
Absolutely love my new curt trailer hitch! The response time was great! Package and trailer hitch was packed great! Installation instructions were very easy to follow. My only criticism would be the pictures were hard to see. Thanks for a great product!
Super easy to install. High quality hitch overall. Added a B&W adjustable ball hitch and I couldn’t be happier. 10/10 would buy again
The top pieces the slide between bummer and frame were bent. Had to hit then with a 2 pound hammer so they fit.

Great
Ordered this to put on my Colorado. Came by UPS and the box was pretty beat up and the only protected part was the actual 2" reviever.
When I went to install it seems it was just a 1/4" shy of fitting around the frame. Took it off to measure the distance and one of the flanges was leaned in just enough I didn't notice... I used a rubber mallet to beat it up into place around the frame. My impact didn't reach the bolts on the side so i had to do it by hand and because the product was cockeyed just enough it really made it hell to tighten down.
Looks outstanding and works great on a test pull, I'm not sure if the welder messed this one up or ups during delivery but make sure to use a measure tape to actually see if it fits before you start and it's very simple installation.
Didn't think to take pictures before and after...
Perfect fit and arrived fast! The second person was beneficial to raising the hitch level, and it definitely took longer with hand tools but was manageable. Thoroughly pleased.
Super fast shipping, easy to install, no drilling or hammering to fit. Easy, easy installation even for the not so mechanically inclined.
This product was listed as OEM part for a 2016 Chevy Colorado and fit like a glove. Excellent quality and great directions. Thanks E-Trailer!
The hitch arrived very quickly, there was some slight damage but it was fixed quickly and easily. I installed the hitch this morning, everything went very smoothly. Installation took me longer than an hour but I'm kind of old and a little slow plus I was working on my back with only hand tools. I really like all the videos that are available, I found ones for my exact year and model truck. I also purchased the wiring kit, but I will install it later. I am very pleased with etrailer and their products.

I like the hitch and I am glad that I installed it, but with the way things were last year, I did not get to use it. Hoping this year will be better.
The hitch went on without any extra effort. The hitch was exactly to specs.The whole project took about 1 1/2 hours.
Receiver was a bolt in as was stated by etrailer. There is a bracket missing on the receiver that the spare tire support bolts to. I will have to configure something to hold the bracket. Other than the bracket it took 30 minutes on a lift with impact tools. Hand tools will take probably another hour.

I called Curt about your concern with the spare tire bracket. The bracket is not necessary in the support of the spare tire since the cable tightens when the spare tire is raised back into position. You should not have any issues with support of the spare tire without this bracket. It also does not act as a heat shield so there is no problem there.
This product works great on my 2016 Chevy Colorado. I would highly recommend removing the bumper first and having a second person assist when installing the receiver. The mounting brackets had to be widened minimally with a mallet. Overall, relatively easy to install. etrailer staff is very friendly and helpful.
After a year of use, I am VERY happy with this product and would highly recommend it.

Excellent! Still works great 2 years later. Zero issues to date.
My Trailer hitch did not fit on my truck! The extra piece of metal on the passenger side prevented me from moving it in the last bolt position. I took the whole original bumper frame off only to have it not fit. So very frustrating. Shoddy work there. I have a chevy CO 2020. I bolted it on anyways, I hope the bolts hold. now I can't stand on the passenger side bumper to get into the truck bed because its unsupported. It was really hard to put on. Dont listen to them.

It sounds like it is possible that the hitch side bracket is flexed. How far off is the bolt hole from the hole in the frame? Have you tried moving the bracket back into position? We do have an FAQ that could help.

Your video details were excellent.

Excellent
Arrived while I was not home. UPS stop n drop...
Apparently... when the driver stopped the box was dropped as lh flange was bent causing hitch to not fit. Slight adjustment with 6 lb hammer fixed bent flange.
Install went well after adjustment.

Excellent! Couldnt be happier.
Fit great, quick and easy install, just wish there was a way to mount the bracket from the spare tire on the hitch. Dont
like just taking it off. It differently supports the spare tire winch. I'm going figure out something tho. Just thought you should know.
